Franz Beckenbauer Passes On At 78

This Monday, Franz Beckenbauer passed away at the age of 78. Seriously ill, the Kaiser had not appeared in public for a while. Like Mario Zagallo, who died on January 5, and Didier Deschamps, Franz Beckenbauer was part of the closed circle of world champions as a player (1974) and coach (1990). Monument of German football and Bayern Munich (567 games in Bayern), Franz Beckenbauer stacked four Bundesligas and as many Pokals, but especially three Champions Leagues in a row (1974, 1975, 1976). Then became a coach, Franz Beckenbauer also became German champion with Bayern in 1994, but also French champion with Olympique de Marseille in 1991.

Auf wiedersehen!
